SHORTRIDGE
ECHO
VOL. XV. NO. 118. SHORTRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL, INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, MAROH 7, 1913,.
TWO CENTS
SAVE YOUR PENNIES FOR
THE BASKETBALL MEET
The State Eligibility Board Will
Convene in This City
Tomorrow
In view of the fact that the
State High School Basketball
Tournament takes place next
week, and due to several litigious
points which have recently arisen
concerning eligibility requirements, there will be a meeting of
the State Athletic Eligibility Committee in Indianapolis tomorrow.
The question which will involve
most of the time relates to the
ruling out of boys who have participated in various Sunday School
League contests in the city; and
the moral, as far as the State
Board is concerned, seems to be:
Don't go to Sunday Sehool.
The Shortridge contingent has
been particularly hard hit by
some of the eligibility rules, and
taking it into consideration that
our athletic system does not provide for the preparation of such
a team for state competitory
games, it is felt that the squad
sent to Bloomington will not be
entirely representative of local
talent.
Under these circumstaces many
feel that the more advisable
course for our own boara to pursue would be a complete withdrawal of the Shortridge team
from the tournament. Such action
would be far wiser in every re
spect, than present plans seem to
admit, and it is much more advisable not to take part at all.than
to feel that the results of the contests were rather unfair and even
deceiving. This is the popular impression among the members of
the student body.

THE SHORTRIDGE SENATE
HAS ANNUAL BANQUET
Mr. Buck Special Guest, Sydney
Jones Toastmaster — Dance
Afterward in Gymnasium
In its annual banquet, yesterday afternoon, the Shortridge
Senate unbended its stately dignity and feasted and danced until
darkness had come to end the
pleasure. As special guests, the
Senate was honored by the presence of Miss Charity Dye, and
Mr. Buck, each of whom took an
active part in the proceedings.
During the banquet itself, Sydney Jones acted as toastmaster
and secured excellent speeches
from all whom he called upon.
Mr. Jones spoke upon "The Glory
of Defeat," and was followed
by Mr. Buck, Austin Clifford
and John Henderson. Harmon
Bross, Lloyd Mellett, William
Cohn, Miss Donnan, and Myron
Hughel also gave toasts in the
order named. Arnold Allen spoke
upon "The Girls in the Senate,1'
while Catherine Clifford discussed
"The Boys' in the Senate." Miss
Dye likewise rendered a beautiful
toast, and Esther Thompson recited a poem.
At the conclusion of the feasting
and speaking, the members withdrew to the gymnasium where an
impromptu dance was held. After
spending over an hour at this very
pleasing diversion, "Home Sweet
Home" was played and the merrymaking ended.
You may think you're fortunate
if you eat lunch the fifth, but you
don't know what you miss by not
eating during the seventh, when
sometimes you get no potatoes at
all* or a heap of them that re-
se'iitijTes Pikes Peak, and get to
eat them with a big spoon, and
find the pie all gone, and the ice
cream degenerated (if that's what
you want to call it) into soup.
You don't know how much fun itis.
Why didn't Woodrow Wilson
ask one of our debaters to
give his Inaugural Address for
him? It would have saved him
lots of trouble and prevented such
crowds from being in Washington
on the 4th.
Harriet Badger actually took.
Miss McCoy to be Miss McKibben,
recently. Another one -of- our
freshmen's childish acts.
Some of these fine spring days
"Al" Quigley is going to become
careless and get into the reference
room on time.
GERMAN CLUB WILL
PRESENT PUT SUON
'Ein Knopf" To Be Staged as an
Auditorium Exercise One Week
From Wednesday
Shortridge is to have the pleas
ure of witnessing another one of
those charming little German
playlets, such as was rendered so
effectively last year. The presentation will take place one week
from next Wednesday, and will
be given as a regular auditorium
program.
"Ein Knopf," which means "A
Button," is the title of the playlet;
and, as the name indicates, it is a
comedy. The story goes in this
way: A learned German professor marries a beautiful young lady
and, after their marriage, finds
that his love of study threatens to
cause an unjust air of indifference
and preoccupation toward his new
wife. In order to prevent this,
and to remind him of the necessity of attention to her, he sews a
red button upon the lapel of his
coat. Later, the button is seen
by his wife, and she cuts off the
red one and sews a more sedate-
looking black one in its place.
The rather absent-minded professor realizes, when the coaY is
returned to hiin^that something
is wrong, but he cannot remember what it is. His strange actions,
as weir as the-sudden recollection
that the red button originally belonged to a former sweetheart of
her husband, causes intense jealousy on the part of the innocent
young wife. From this point on
the play is amusing in the extreme.
Four characters appear on the
stage: Robert Brewer takes the
part of the professor, with Mary
Zoercher as heroine. Dean Francis
acts as the lover of the former
sweetheart of the professor, and
Emily Moores as the sweetheart,
who causes so much annoyance.
HUME TALENT PRUGRAM
IS THOROUGHLY ENJOYED
Program For Girls' High School
Club Not Announced, But a
Good Time is Assured
At the session of the Girls' High
School Club last Friday, the members were entertained by a home
talent program. Those taking
part were: Helen Lesh, who
played several violin selections,
Isabel Eggleston, who rendered a
piano solo and gave a few excellent readings, and Frieda Schaff,
who sang. The club enjoyed the
program immensely and extends
its thanks to those who participated in the entertainment.
The members of the club are at
present making an effort to sell
hand painted Japanese cards, in
order to obtain money to send
girls to the Y W. C. A. Conference
which is to be held next summer
at Lake Geneva.
There will be the usual meeting
of the.Girls' High School Club this
afternoon. Although the program has not yet been announced,
a good time may be anticipated.
JUNIOR NOTICES
We extend our heartfelt sympathy to Madeline Baptiste on the
death of her father.
Has anyone noticed that Olive
Sage isn't nearly so bashful as she
was before she met Katherine
Hacker?
A few days ago Isabel Eggelston
informed Mr. Otto that Lot was
Abraham's niece. How is that for
a guess?
Isn't it fun to try to read history
reference right after lunch, and go
to sleep after every other word?
The Decoration Committee of
the junior prom will meet tonight
in thorn 4, at 2:40.
